Earlier today, I started a thread telling a little story about Android. But, for no reason, it was closed shortly after. No explanations, nothing.
I did it in the right section, it was not offensive or rude, I don't know what the hell I did wrong. I don't mind my topics being closed, but with no explanations, this is just bullsh*t.
If somebody could explain it to me, it'd be cool.
Fyi, the link to the topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683939
Thanks.

Where? Between the lines? In the sky? Under my bed?
Thought it might be funny to tell a story about my two years using Android using a kinda-dramatic style, but I don't get where it's against the rules.
It's in the "off-topic" section, the same one where people tell the song they are currently listening to, or other things cool to share but not more relevant than my thread. As long as I don't infringe the basic rules, I don't get it.
You are kidding me right????
There was no need to start a new thread, your post would have been well placed in either of the threads you were linked to....

Contrary to popular belief, off-topic is not a place where you can open a thread for anything you like and it just flies. It follows the same rules that apply everywhere else in the forum. In this particular case, the rule is about not opening threads that already exist. I did link you to two threads that were relevant to your post.
As for this thread, if you have a problem with a mod decision then by all means question it, but don't open a thread to do it. Send a PM to the mod in question (namely me, in this case) and politely discuss it with them.

new to the forum need help my sprint hero is 1.5 i want to root it and overclock but i do want to keep sprint tv and sprint nav thnx
Have u read up on the process of rooting.?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yes i did but all seemed geared at the 2.1 update so can i root or do i update to 2.1 then proceed
There are directions to root 1.5 and 2.1 everywhere here you just have to give some actual effort to look for them. I'd suggest going to geekfor.me and use the kitchen to autoroot it.
Why root 1.5 when your going to upgrade to 2.1 anyway? Why not just RUU to 2.1 and then root it?
OMG...what is going on...SEARCH! ALSO there is a Q&A section specifically for these problems. This is the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT section. Im not trying to be mean but please read the rules about posting before posting.

I completely disagree. There are a mere 3 stickies in the Development forum, of which one clearly, in the title, says "Don't post questions here!" This was a question, which directly violates the rules. Not only that, it's the most basic question of all (how to get started) which is also answered in the stickies. Why should we make any effort to help the OP (and many others on these boards) when they obviously made no effort of their own?
If you don't agree with me and feel the "purpose" of XDA is to baby everyone, I'd encourage you to check out some of the other sections that still have some activity and mods who care. You will find them to be a drastically different experience.
I'm sorry but clearly he had to open the main cdma hero forum part. He SHOULD HAVE seen Q&A. Then decides to post in development. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm following The rule's. Like above..if he would of bothered of making an effort he would have seen the sticky saying don't post questions. I just feel when some blatantly makes no effort to search or follow rules they should not be handed something. And I did answer his question if u guys would have looked at my post.

No problem man, simple mistake.
I do like the rules that are set here (with the stickies and such) but I do remember the feeling of just finding xda (which was my first forum experience) and how overwhelmed and confused I was. I did mess up in the beginning, with my posting, but I was never bashed. I know you guys weren't bashing him (well I hope not) but you have to realize that he won't make this mistake again, it was a simple mistake. I didn't even know what a "sticky" was when I joined in January haha.

Everyone cool your jets. you got rockets in your pockets? I see nothing wrong with what t12icky0 originally posted. He answered the questioned and suggested what everyone else would have suggested--searching & reading more.
I also have to agree. There are other forums obviously specifically for questions or general talk along with the sticky here saying that as well. I'm not bashing OP. It just never hurts to do your best searching for your answer, and if you come up short, post.
Also let's chill with the foul language.

You are going to draw unwanted attention from a mod so I suggest you stop doing what you are doing in the fashion in which you are doing it. These restrictions are in place for a reason, mostly to stop spam posters.
Read this first please:

If you have any other question afterwards you will know what to do.
One other thing. Is it so much to ask that you read for a bit first, pick up some knowledge and experience, help a few people in the 90+% of the site which is completely open to you, to participate with quality posts instead of BS posts, in return for being able to post into any of the ROM threads from any dev on this site?

Good day sir.
There are already so many threads here in OT that you can post to for your ten post, it should be extremely easy for anybody that takes one minute to look. Use the 'game threads' like last letter and similar word and such. Problem solved.
EDIT: Mods, why not make it so new users can't start a new thread until the 10 post limit is reached?

There is already a Manga thread where you should be posting about this sort of stuff.
Also, given the wide range of ages and backgrounds of people that participate in XDA, I'm not entirely sure that talking about a character called "Molester Man" is the most appropriate thing to do.
